Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

no it doesn't.

Look at the 4:00 position on the right-side pulley, you can read 11T just behind the carbon.

I agree. I spend a BUNCH of money on cycling and my bike, but that is beyond even my taste.

Nothing I can't do with a Record rear derailleur and some after-market gear as far as weight is concerned.

What's sad is that the people who actually buy that are the ones that stand the least to benefit from it.

Not that there's much benefit to begin with...

With all the money invested in engineering and production, you'd think they could throw a semi-talented designer a few hundred bucks to create a proper logo.

I wouldn't buy it even if I could.

I bet the Deore RD on my mountain bike works just as well, and it only cost 30 bucks.

I have always liked the lightweight logo... it looks very classy imo... something most bike graphics lack.
